Nice recipes, but app is hard to use
Does anyone read the reviews and consider making improvements???
The recipes are generally good, but the app is difficult to actually use. For example, if I want to cook two (or more) of the recipes at the same time, I can’t pin them or group them into a meal and toggle back and forth between them. I have to rely on the cumbersome search function over and over!

Easy search function
Loving the refresh, especially the search function which is so much easier to use.
Excellent recipes but needs a lot more wotk
The recipes are excellent, but would benefit from some proof-reading. The app’s functionality leaves a great deal to be desired. I hoped when a new version was released recently the shortcomings might be addressed but no. The ability to create menus, add recipes to a calendar, create shopping lists and make recipe sharing more straightforward are vital in an app in 2022

Maunika Gowardhan Indian Cookery
I have had this app since it first came out and I love it!! Easy to follow recipes. I don’t understand the problem when a new recipe is added to pay for it. You just don’t pay if you don’t want the recipe. I also have Maunika’s books which are also excellent.
Good food on bad and money hungry app
Really really like recipes but can’t agree with the app.
For starter - nearly half of the recipes are “App Exclusive” meaning they are there but you can’t see them and to see them you need to pay bit extra. I mean why this predatory?
Also if you liked some recipes, there is a save button to come back later but it’s impossible to confirm if you placed that button correctly or not. Else, like me scroll through entire app to find yours.
And there is her website and most recipes are there FREE. Again why and with what logic?

Search function nonfunctional
The recipes themselves are amazing. The app
Is infuriating. You can only seem to search by checking off boxes for ingredients or looking in a broad category like Vegetarian. This is a good feature but it would be nice to literally search for the recipe name for something you see on Instagram instead of paging through, hoping to finding a recipe in a category. I almost never can find the recipe I saw. Not worth paying for. Use the website for free. It’s not designed differently but at least it’s free. (Also not a fan of having recipes that are .99 within the app when you already paid for this app. Seems like a money grab.)

Poor app!
Great recipes but poor app experience. Basic functions are missing and some of what is there doesn’t behave as it should. The save function doesn’t work if there is a share button by it’s side. Very frustrating. No search facility either.
Too frustrating to use
The recipes are great but honestly the app is so clunky and non-intuitive to use that I don't want to open. There is no logical search function and the save button doesn't work on many of the recipes. I wish the app would get upgraded, I'd definitely recommend the purchase to others but right now honestly cannot justify the cost with how hard it is to use.

Pretty good
I was a bit nervous about purchasing with all the negative reviews - but for £3.49 I think it is excellent value. Recipes are a change from my usual Madhur Jeffrey / Anjum Anand / net searches and so far all have had good feedback from family. Very clear instructions with no unobtainable ingredients!
Haven’t had any issues with app so far, just wish I could bookmark but haven’t really tried to see if there’s a facility for that.

Great recipes, rubbish app
Seriously basic app. It’s little more than a list of recipes. Why on earth isn’t there a favourite function? Definitely not worth the money.
Recipes are great, app is TERRIBLE
I use the app frequently for the recipes but I cannot stand the app. No favourites function, no search function, poor scrolling interface. Considering we paid for the app, this is has awful user experience and I really hope there is some work being done to fix this.
Also, my partner and I have the Apple family sharing but can’t download the app on two devices? Why is that?

The app needs a search function
This app is very hard to use as you cannot do a simple search. Instead you have to search by ingredient or by category. It is very hard to find a recipe from Maunika’s insta page in the app, especially if you are not familiar with the Indian name for recipes without a general search function.
Clunky, dial up vibes
Some of the recipes I’ve tried are good BUT so many issues with this app… haven’t experienced anything like it. It’s not user friendly, literally waiting for a page to load, the recipe saving function works sporadically and it freezes. Needs investment and a serious upgrade. I have a number of food apps and this is the worst hands now. In need of an upgrade ASAP.

Lots of recipes cost extra
Disappointed to find out that many recipes aren’t included in the £3.99 initial cost and that they are an extra 0.79p each.
Rip off
Brought that app for £3.99 only to discover you have to pay for most recipes??? And additional 79p - total scam
Disappointing
Paying for an app to have to pay for app exclusive recipes is very disappointing! The free app recipes are available on the authors website.
Excellent guide to Indian cooking!
Before I got this app I couldn’t seem to cook Indian food that had any depth of flavour and thankfully that has changed. The recipes are clear and easy to follow and I will make the Paneer Butter Masala until the day I die. 5 ⭐️
Great recipes, poor app
Oh for a simple search function. Great recipes but frustratingly hard to find. Easily solved if you could simply search for recipe by name rather than ingredients.
The scroll in the app does not work
The scroll in the app does not work and hence makes it unusable.
App not working
Not able to load recipes past the first page- scrolling isn’t possible
Would love to use the recipes that I do have access too but can’t scroll down to see it!
